Why do most people feel shy of talking about Jesus Christ but they can be willing to talk about God?

Answer 1

Because the very name of Jesus causes people to realize that they are sinners in need of Him.....

All the God talk is ok with society....but the moment I start saying the name Jesus....everything changes....and I love that.

Answer 2

Fear. God is the Almighty but unseen, Jesus was a living man who we may have to go face to face with in this life. And most believe that a second coming will happen. And although Christians believe God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one in the same, still another messenger will come that is of God. And that messenger will be, again, Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

I am ortodox Christian and I am not shy to talk about Jesus . He is also a God , Son of God The Father.(This is a dogma inside my Church and proven with the Bible )

I am little bit shy to say I love Jesus because he looks like a Young Man. But I didn't fall in love with Him , because He takes care of this , He being also My acknowledged God(inside The Holly Trinity)

Answer 4

Most people follow someone's opinion, and don't have first hand knowledge. They feel when the conversation starts that it will be just another argument.
Also, there have been so many lies told, most don't know where they stand.
Most don't even know that religion is a form of government.
Many believe that God and Jesus are one and the same.....Jesus said he is the son of God and God agreed.

Answer 5

I'm not shy about Jesus - I think he's great! I'm not even what you'd call religious. But I'd much rather talk about Jesus - a concrete historical person with a story and a message - than God, who can be all things to all men.

Answer 6

I do not know this to be true but my guess is that Jesus being a real person from the little we know is accredited with actions that goes against gut feeling. People don't do stuff like that. God Is unreal and he can do anything. Jesus existence is potentially provable or not. God is de facto unprovable. So it's a safer argument.

Answer 7

God is a general term. Many even think the god of Islam is the same God as the bible and he isn't.
Many take offense to Jesus, they did when he was here and they still do, why?
Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me" This is very offensive to many even if it's the truth.
So, when one spreads the good news people get mad who receive it. I've heard this many times, "How can you say YOUR god is the only God?" =truth

Answer 8

"The dying, the cripple, the mental,
the unwanted, the unloved
they are Jesus in disguise." (BM Teresa)

Dying is people who are physically dying as well as spiritually dying (aka, the sinner).

Cripples are those with physical disabilities (blindness, missing limbs, ect) and those with addictions (tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sex)

It is hard to look past social norms and reach out to the lonely. "Unloved" could be a prostitute, but who is strong enough to show the prostitute "Christian love"?

"Unwanted" is unplanned pregnancies, the spouse who's gotten boring / old, teen-agers who cause mischief.

So, why is it so hard to talk about Jesus Christ? It is because we’re often suffering for love and attention so much that we drown in self pity and cannot reach out to the others suffers - Which Jesus Christ tells us is the cure to our ailments. “Love each other as I have loved you”

Answer 9

Sadly, many Jesus fanatics and so-called Christians have turned people off talking about JC with their legalism and fanatical zeal for sacrifice(slaughter) and warfare. Many have even physically and spiritually abused children, even their own family members, the result being more alienation than reconciliation unto God, more divisions than unity, more wars than peace.

As false Christianity becomes even more traditional, even more fundamentalist, even weird, it becomes less appealing to thinking people, who then see human secularism as their only option.

As for God, the question of all generations: if God is love, and merciful, then why the disasters, destruction, and merciless deaths... remains unanswered by all the impure religionists who law impute sin and death for the hell of it, being hell bent on sacrifice, which is what God PLAINLY never desired nor ever took pleasure in: Psalms 40:6; Psalms 51:16; Hosea 6:6; Matthew 9:13; Matthew 12:7; Hebrews 10, which also PLAINLY notes doing the will of God PRECEDES receive the promise.

The simple answer is look up, higher than on high:
"the God of all grace" is no law at all, and
"the God of all comfort" is no discomfort at all, for
"that God" is light(grace) having no darkness(law) at all,
that God is "perfect love" void of all fear (hath torment).

The POINT being His Grace is not Law Law, nor mortal.

All who think other wise, the earthly sensual devilish wise,
can bend over and double kiss their divided *** bye bye.

With all thy getting, get understanding = grace glory (Prov 4).

Mean while, "the end" of the God Shew is already written,
but getting there "alive unto God" involves a "weight" loss.
We all are one shld drop the weight witch easily besets: law,
run the race, along with patience, unto the end of law written.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 10

The word God is a generic term.
You say God and it can mean any god you choose.
You say god and the other person thinks what he will think. You think whatever you will think.
You say Jesus, now you leave no room to maneuver. You are at the crux. There is no room to think what you will.
